According the Focoslide-M instruction sheet (I have the Hove reprint, not
the original), one needs to use 2 Repro N tubes along with the 50mm
Summicron and focus mount to get 1:1 or larger.  My own very limited
testing bears this out.  The ground glass screen on my unit matches the
dimensions of the opening of a full frame slide mount.
